Celina Jaitley is breathing fire nowadays. The reason? She has come under attack for her unflinching support to gay rights from none other than the Yoga guru Baba Ramdev who has petitioned against de-criminalising homosexuality.
In a recent newspaper interview, Baba Ramdev said about Celina: “These actresses know nothing about Bhartiya sanskriti. They stay away from their parents and have no morals. Woh toh har mahine partners badalti hai, ussey bharatiya sanskriti ke baarey mein kya maaloom? (She changes partners every month, what does she know about Indian culture?)”
This remark labeling Celina as promiscuous has angered the actress who’s taken up cudgels against the Baba in the media.
Firstly, Celina claims that the Baba who claims to know more about her sex life than she does could not be a true Brahamachari (celibate). Secondly, she claims that by outraging her modesty, the Baba has shown he has no respect for women.
“For a brahamachari, every woman is 'Maa' and nowhere in 'bharatiya sanskriti' is it written or practiced that you can make sexually motivated comments on any girl,” Celina is quoted as saying in a media report.
Though Celina does credit Baba for revival of yoga in the present day and age, she adds that doing so doesn’t make him “Samaaj Ka Thhekedaar”.
Celina also doesn’t agree with Baba Ramdev’s assertion that homosexuality is a disease and he can cure it.
